Summary: The fruit borer (Conotrachelus humeropictus Fielder) is a native pest that affects cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) and cupuassu (Theobroma grandifl orum Will. Ex Spreng.(Schum.) plantations in Amazon region. Studies have focused on biology and authors believed that there to be two distinct species that corresponded a host tree cocoa and cupuassu. None previous work has studied molecular markers for fruit borer population genetic analysis. In this study, it was examined genetic diversity between 96 insects sampled from two host tree from two geographic locations using ISSR markers.
